Fantastic view and culinary top.
Staff are very professional and friendly. Breakfast is exceptionally good. Each coffee is prepared individually on a good strainer carrier machine. Egg dishes are also served freshly individually, Egg Benedict, Omlette etc. Also the restaurant is top.
The pool was good and not crowded. Our room was a bit older but tip top clean. Bed quality is very good.
The only “problem” is the mountain, as described by some other customers. This one is really fucking steep. With the summer temperatures there, it's no pleasure walking up there.
I would book the hotel again anytime.

It was a great holiday with maximum relaxation effect in this hotel. We had sea view rooms - and these should definitely be booked! The restaurant offers an incredible view of Kvarner Bay! Breakfast super...plenty of choice, fresh produce, local specialities, egg dishes are prepared on request. Coffee what you want, from fresh beans....champagne is also available - for us every day the perfect start!
In the evening we ate twice, very well, and something for every taste and budget. You can enjoy starters for 15 euros (Tuna Carpaccio z Exsp) and also for 5 euros delicious salad. Main course around 16 euros mega good risotto or fettuccine with seafood etc. There are also more expensive foods, which are correspondingly also very good. Wine selection huge.
Spa area not used due to lack of time.
Pool area nicely designed, sure, due to natural conditions you don't have the best view (back of hotel), but you can still enjoy it.
All staff very friendly, from service to cleaning...waiter Raiko and Zoran(?) : thank you for everything!
For enterprising holidaymakers who are flexible on the go and want to end the evening relaxed, this hotel is perfect! A bit of luxury but affordable....we recommend it 100 percent!

We had a great stay at the Hotel Laurus in late September, thanks partially to the spacious rooms with spectacular views, but primarily because of the lovely staff. All of the staff were friendly and very helpful and attentive, but Nicole Kadmen, who was at reception on our arrival, was a real standout. Always smiling and exuberant, as a local resident she gave us excellent recommendations for places to eat and visit. In addition, we had made reservations at the last minute on the road and got two rooms which ended up on different floors - Nicole saw our disappointment and kindly arranged an upgrade so that we could be next to each other. We woke up the next morning to a brilliant view of the Adriatic Sea, both from our rooms and the breakfast terrace. The breakfast buffet was generous, as was the service from the gentlemen there. Highly recommended.

The reception and the service in the restaurant area were extremely friendly. The breakfast offers a wide variety. The close location to the sea and Opatija is ideal.
We felt very comfortable, even though the room was shabby and small. The carpet in particular had numerous, large stains. The view of the sea from the balcony, especially at night, is very beautiful. The small hotel is really recommended, it also has a small parking garage and is located in a quiet residential area.

Excellent breakfast with a lovely view outside. Funny, very kind and helpful at the reception, good restaurant with top service, clean rooms and above all very nice people. A small tip : a shuttle service (which shouldn’t be for free) to the center might help the heights to bridge as parking places are limited in the center. Anyway, price quality is superior.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights.
The positives
The view is to die for. The staff are excellent particularly the receptionist Erica and the dining room staff nothing was too much trouble.
BUT the negatives oh my!!!.
Our overall experience was one of a poorly managed hotel. Our first night we ate in the hotel dinning room which is classed as a gourmet restaurant!! Our first course was a cold dish and fabulous, the second course took an hour to arrive with loads of apologies from the waiter, my dish was terrible but in fairness my wife’s excellent.
The next night obviously we didn’t want to go through a similar experience so decided to have a salad in our room, that proved impossible as they didn’t have salads, although listed on the menu but we did have raw tuna which was ok. We tried to phone reception to take our plates etc. away but there was no one on reception!
Frankly with the price this hotel charges, the reputation it has one would expect much,much better
. On Saturday after our dining experience I asked if I could speak with the manager only to be told he wasn’t available until Monday morning. When I did get to see him he was very sorry etc. but frankly by this time I had enough,
Such a shame as the staff deserve better and more support. I think but am not sure the hotel had been acquired by a group who no doubt are cost cutting, but not their charges!

Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the stunning views and found our staff, particularly Erica and the dining room team, to be excellent and attentive. However, we deeply regret that your overall experience did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your dining experiences and the lack of available room service and reception support. This is not the standard of service we strive to provide, and we understand how frustrating these shortcomings can be, especially considering the high expectations associated with our reputation and pricing. We are particularly sorry that you were unable to speak with the manager during your stay and that your concerns were not addressed promptly. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will be taking immediate steps to address these issues and improve our service and management practices. Thank you once again for your feedback. We hope that you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide you with a much-improved experience. Best regards, Hotel Laurus team

Our stay began with the receptionist, Nicole, serving us complimentary wine and it even got better from there. Book the double room with balcony and sea view. The hotel sits about half way up the small mountain overlooking the Volosko harbor–-amazing view. The hotel has its own garage below which is a big plus in Croatia. Nicole took us to our room herself and made sure we got settled in. The balcony is huge with two large wicker chairs and a big table. We watched the moon rising over the harbor. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was excellent. I had the sea bass caught locally which was excellent and my wife has their home made pasta. The wait staff knew perfect English and were very professional. The complimentary breakfast buffet was typical European serving a wide variety of items. The next morning Nicole gave us recommendations on what to see and how to get there. Everyone at Hotel Laurus was so kind and welcoming. Definitely stay here--you won't be disappointed.

Great small hotel. Room very clean really comfortable beds with fluffy pillows and duvets.
The pool area is quiet and relaxing.
The food is fantastic from the extensive breakfast to the al la carte in the evening all eaten on the terrace with fabulous views of the bays
As a solo traveller I cannot thank the staff enough for making the feel so welcome from the moment I arrived they cannot do enough for you and genuinely want you to enjoy your stay all with a smile
I was even presented with a breakfast box to take on my return journey to the airport as it was early this was just one example the staff looking after the guests so well. I throughly recommend for a relaxing stay

Beautiful property, located high above the village with wonderful views.
Very attentive and kind staff, breakfast cured with excellent fresh and natural products! The restaurant a surprise, very good seafood tagliatelle and fresh baked sea bream cooked perfectly.
Equipped with swimming pool not very large but cozy.
The only flaw is the carpet in the rooms which are however very spacious and clean.
Highly recommended!

Bonjour, désolée pour ma réponse tardive, je ne regarde pas souvent mon compte. Toutes les chambres ne sont pas avec une vue mer et je pense qu'il est plus intéressant de faire ce choix vous serez enchantés par la vue, pour la marche je pense qu'il y a possibilité de se rendre à la mer à pied, toutefois nous sommes restés que 2 nuits , je ne peux pas vraiment vous renseigner sur ce point.
